Anne ... with an E

Every girl should read Anne of Green Gables.  And every woman should re-read it at least once a year.  I am currently reading it for the first time and really reading it... including the long "imagination" passages that Anne comes up with.

The reason for this is... the character of Anne has to be the most optimistic appreciative person in all of literature.  She is wacky, careless, and vain, but she is so happy!  When I read, I imagine Megan Follows from the PBS version.  She is the only true Anne.   It really does make me happy to go to bed at night just having read it.

The other things in my life that I am doing to make every moment enjoyable are listening to great music (try Beautiful Life by Charlotte Martin, anything by Mika, or even M'Bob by Hansen...).  I am watching funny television reruns on Netflix (I just finished Arrested Development... again!!) and playing in the sunshine with Aiden every single day that we can.

Try it.  It might make the Holiday season happier for you too!
